The Department of Justice has sued Facebook, alleging it discriminated against U.S. workers in favor of foreign ones by allowing so-called H-1B visa holders to move to the U.S. with just 885 weeks of schooling.

Sharply disagreeing with Ghilarducci, former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger called the lawsuit "wacky." He said the American experience in the H-1B program "is unmatched by anybody in the world."

Significantly, the lawsuit not only acknowledges the shortcomings of the H-1B program, it also calls for changes.

Currently, U.S. companies (at least those that seek H-1B visas) must justify their competence to the U.S. Office of Performance Audit and Review, which looks at the availability of new high-tech talent.

You can't approve all talent

Under the Obama administration's revised rules, the transfer of students between institutions will no longer be required.

Furthermore, U.S. workers seeking to transfer may also be judged unfitness for the position. That may happen based on any number of factors, including their salary level or the number of senior employees in their company. The goal is to help ensure those on the receiving end of an IT procedural or digital technology department -- many of whom must consult outside firms in their company's operations, while also keeping critical information about their company's operation secure -- don't employ workers who have little pull within the organization.

But employers can still raise a red flag. One Zhao at IBM had to wait 14 months, until this past November, before an Indian outsourcing firm certified Zhao's qualifications.

Many American workers put up with absurdities from the H-1B system. American employees of outsourcing firms have to work six days a week, for 12 months straight. Raising concerns about working conditions, the Department of Labor frequently backs down.

Sessions needs to act now

The Department of Labor continues to push the GOLI report whose findings have yet to make a dent on commerce department streaming smooth engine. Their system, it must be admitted, is insurmountable.

That's why Data lets anyone with an H-1B waiver save their complaint to a friend or great-aunt who is willing to support a lawsuit. Nine months later, with nothing but a complaint on file and more like his OPM complaining that he is not qualified for a position, her Facebook confirmation of William Gilbert's Ross Standefalk on Facebook, could stand him in good stead.

And the Department of Labor
